The bounds are defined by the parameters, a and b, which are the minimum and maximum values. Calculate the mean and variance of the distribution and. Furthermore, generally, experiments of physical origin follow a uniform distribution eg. For the first way, use the fact that this is a conditional and changes the sample space. Note that given that the conditional distribution of y given x x is the uniform distribution on the interval x2, 1, we shouldnt be surprised that the expected value looks like the expected value of a uniform random variable.
